Lego also has a Death Star II set which has about the same number of pieces (3400 vs 3800), but it costs half as much.

It's more of a scale version thing, with 30ish floor levels. It's also about twice as tall.

The largest Lego set ever made is their $500, 5200 piece, 3 foot long Millennium Falcon

The Imperial Star Destroyer is just as long, but 3100 pieces, and $200.

Isn't the Death Star like supposed to be the size of the moon or something? This looks more like the Death Star shaped house you find in the suburbs.

"The first Death Star has a crew of 265,675, as well as 52,276 gunners, 607,360 troops, 30,984 stormtroopers, 42,782 ship support staff, and 180,216 pilots and support crew. Its hangars contain assault shuttles, blastboats, Strike cruisers, land vehicles, support ships, and 7,293 TIE fighters. It is also protected by 10,000 turbolaser batteries, 2,600 ion cannons, and at least 768 tractor beam projectors. Various sources state the first Death Star has a diameter between 120 and 160 kilometers [75-100 miles]."

Seeing this whiny hipster edit together his unconvincing wetdream of being able to stand his masculine ground against a thick-witted, piss n' vinegar mangorilla is embarrassing to watch.

There is no way this doughy, gracile pastryboy could stand up to O'Reilly's blackhole density of alpha male douchebaggery.

OK, I get it. Here is the real 1k file:

O.K.

How do they know the bear didn't eat for four months? This makes no sense, a 1200 lb animal needs to eat. What instinct possibly explains this? Even my pubescent dog would end up humping me in the middle of play, as he got excited and his doggy sexstincts took over. You're telling me a starving bear in the middle of a 'play' bite wouldn't face an even greater compulsion?

And how would something that size even know how to play with something so much smaller? When Siegfried and Roy's white tiger tried to treat Roy like a vulnerable pup it ended up almost biting his head off. A bear can't treat a dog like a sibling.

My crackpot theory is the global warming folks are trying to garner sympathy for the endangered bear by staging irresistible cuddle stunts.

The whole blood stained soulless predator image wasn't working.
